**Megalodon: The Giant Mega Toothed Prehistoric Shark **
Meet the Megalodon, the largest marine predator in the history of the world. The Megalodon dominated our planet’s oceans from the late Oligocene to the early Pleistocene Eras approximately 2.6 - 16 million years ago. This massive and extinct species of shark was estimated to grow to nearly 60 feet long! They had 276 teeth in 5 rows and, much like modern day sharks, shed their teeth throughout their lifetime. The largest Megalodon tooth on record is 7.5 inches, while Great White Shark teeth are comparatively 3 inches long at their largest!
Megalodon teeth were bone-crunching, flesh-cutting tools, used to eat powerful prey such as Baleen Whales. The structure of their thick, robust, serrated teeth, and additional fossil evidence supports the idea that Megalodon focused its attacks on the bony parts of its large prey, such as rib cages, flippers, shoulders, and spines, disabling them and harming major organs such as the heart and lungs!
